UPDATE
It has been another great week of learning at Copperfield School. We just finished our first week of Read-A-Thon. The funds raised go towards purchasing books such as decodable books and at-home reading books for our students. We thank you in advance for your support. This week we have had the pleasure of having readers from the community come in to read to our students and celebrate the value of reading.
It is currently survey season in CBE and we know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That is why we are asking you to share your perspectives about our School Development Plan, school budget and school fees.
The survey is open until March 31, 2025.
I encourage you to Review the School Planning Presentation prior to completing the survey.
Also, a reminder that our School Development Plan and Report to Parents and Guardians on Fees are accessible through our Copperfield School Website.
Please click here to complete the survey: Copperfield School Planning and Engagement Survey
Your input is important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspectives.
Thank you for your support!
Copperfield has heart!

Principal, Copperfield School
